Installation and Connection Manual Installation and Connection Installation The PROFIBUS INspektor is designed for top hat rail mounting (U-rail) in accordance with EN 50022 (35 x 7.5 mm or 35 x 15 mm). Fig. 2: Mounting the assembly Attention: To ensure proper cooling, please provide sufficient space to neighboring components: On the left and right: 20 mm On all other sides: 50 mm...
® PB-INspektor Installation and Connection 4.3 Connection to PROFIBUS DP The PROFIBUS INspektor can be connected to the PROFIBUS DP network in three different ways, which are described below. 4.3.1 Active PROFIBUS Cable The active PROFIBUS connection cable (optional accessory) offers a very simple way to connect the PROFIBUS INspektor to the fieldbus on a live PROFIBUS anytime –...
Installation and Connection Manual 4.3.2 At the Bus End At the bus end, the bus is extended up to the INspektor, as shown in the illu- stration. To do this, use the free output of the PROFIBUS connector of the last device on the bus.
® PB-INspektor Installation and Connection 4.3.3 Loop-in The INspektor is inserted between two existing devices on the bus. For this, you need to divide the bus. Attention: For this type of connection, you need to shut down the PLC and all the devices connected to the PROFIBUS, in other words, you need to shut down the whole plant.
Commissioning Manual 4.4 Power Supply An external 24 VDC power supply is required for operation. Use the supplied connector to connect the power supply to the PROFIBUS INspektor. Connect the PE contact to the local ground of the control cabinet. Attention: Observe the correct polarity when connecting the PE contact.

Commissioning Manual 5.1.1 Case 1 - Local Access Only In this case, the PROFIBUS INspektor is NOT integrated into an existing network. You can either continue by using the “Alternate Configuration” set for the LAN connection in your PC, or assign a different free and available IP address to the INspektor.
® PB-INspektor Commissioning Measuring Procedure – First Steps 5.2.1 Startup and Segment Detection The PROFIBUS INspektor powers up automatically as soon as you connect it to the power supply; the ERR LED is red. The device then tries to detect a connected active bus segment.
Commissioning Manual 5.2.3 Error Indication When you run the PROFIBUS INspektor with the default settings, detected errors are indicated in the following ways: The ERR LED turns red The potential-free contact closes, the relay clicks audibly The web interface shows the following details on the Overview startup page: Counts greater than zero in the left-hand table under Events Alarm count greater than zero in the right-hand table under...
® PB-INspektor Commissioning Not all diagnostics are relevant to PROFIBUS device faults. Which of them are depends on the device type and its configuration in the PLC program, so that this decision also has to be made on a case to case basis. In the Extended View of the Alarms/Snapshots settings, you can set the Internal Diagnostics and/or External Diagnostics threshold to a value greater than “1”...
Quality Parameters Manual Quality Parameters Drop-outs The PROFIBUS INspektor detects drop-outs in two different ways: 1. Detection of parameter frames A PROFIBUS device receives a parameter frame from the bus master when it needs to be newly added to the bus (restart) or when the de- vice has transmitted a diagnostic frame requesting parameterization.
® PB-INspektor Quality Parameters This means that, when in doubt, you need to check every diagnostic message in order to see if the message results from normal process behavior or from a fault in the device. 6.3 Error telegrams Even though the PROFIBUS is protected against possible transmission faults, frames can nevertheless be falsified during physical data transfer.
Web Interface Manual Web Interface Startup Page/Overview Fig. 7: Startup page of the web interface On the left, you see the navigation area. With the two icons below it, you can toggle between the English and German interface languages. The measuring location is given at the top of the screen. This is particularly useful when you are using multiple INspektors to monitor the network.
® PB-INspektor Web Interface 7.1.1 Event Overview (Network Overview) The Events box displays the following three time periods: Last Minute Last Period (user-definable time frame) History (since last power-up) For each time period, the PROFIBUS INspektor indicates the total count of all error events, the bus cycle times, and the time of the last SNMP request (only with SNMP software option).
You can download snapshots to a notebook or PC by clicking the disk icon in the last column. System Information ® Here you find general information about system settings to PB-INspektor well as its system state. These contain: Internal device status Network settings and statistics Running time of the system;...
® PB-INspektor Web Interface 7.5 Settings 7.5.1 Tresholds/Alarms Here you can activate alerting, select the action to be taken and set the threshold parameters. The settings can either be made for all PROFIBUS devices in one go or separately for each device by opening the Extended View.
You can optionally also restore the factory defaults. In this case, all the set- tings you made are deleted except for the network configuration. ® Attention! At reset to factory settings the licence of PB-INspektor lost and has to be registered again afterwards (see 7.5.4.5 Licence). 7.5.4.7...
